NU Uses Operational Performance Indicators (KPIs) to Measure and
Drive Operations Management
• High level KPIs are consistent across Operating Companies
• 4 Main Areas of Focus Safety Operations Customer Financial
• Total of 71 KPIs
• Targets set annually …. results reviewed monthly
• Lower level KPIs exist with Operating Companies and functions
• Short term and long term corrective actions expected where performance falls below targets.

Each Year “Operational Plans” are Developed and Executed at NU by Operating Company/Business Unit
to Manage Operations Performance
5 Year Enterprise Plan
1 YearOperational Plan
Execution of Operational Plan
• Spring development• 5 Year focus• Strategic/major initiatives• 5 year initiatives to
• identify major risks • address business
environment changes• major KPI trend issues
• Fall development• “Next Year” focus• Compatible with 5 year Enterprise Plan• Tactical
• Set Operational KPIs• Initiatives to achieve KPIs

CL&P Main Priorities for 2008 Goal Initiatives Measures
3. Meet customer and regulator expectations for reliability
Implement year 2 of the Long Term (5 year) Reliability Plan
• Maintain a distribution system that is safe for employees and customers by completing the remainder of the A. B. Chance cutout replacement program and replacing cap and pin insulators in identified CL&P substations in 2008
• Manage acute reliability problems by completing specifically identified reliability work in the towns of Stamford, Waterbury and Meriden; including the development of projects to expand distribution capacity to supply expected significant new load growth in downtown Stamford. Also replace or rejuvenate cable in identified direct buried developments with a history of extensive complaints and disruptive failures
• Manage aggregate CL&P SAIDI performance by identifying and completing cost effective capital reliability work that will net at least 7 minutes of SAIDI improvement helping to offset the impact of declining SAIDI performance due to trees and aging infrastructure.
• Complete 2008 capital related regulatory commitments (Stamford, Waterbury, Meriden)
• Manage capital program consistent with rate case funding
Improve performance of system maintenance program
• Finalize Maintenance Program Upgrade Plan, including the establishment of due dates, based on approved funding
• Based on finalized plan, perform specified maintenance in 2008
• Complete all other 2008 actions specified in Maintenance Program Upgrade plan
Utilize human performance techniques to manage risk and minimize outage events
Prepare for and support the 2008 NERC audit
Implement a comprehensive self assessment program to identify and correct procedure compliance weaknesses
SAIDI (IEEE) of 150.00 minutes
CAIDI (IEEE) of 133.77 minutes
SAIFI (IEEE) of 1.121
Meet Long Term Reliability Plan milestones
Meet regulatory related reliability commitments
Finalize Maintenance Program Upgrade Plan by March 31, 2008
Complete specified maintenance in accordance with plan
Complete all other 2008 Maintenance Program Upgrade Plan actions
Receive NERC audit report with “no audit findings”
Complete four self assessments
Correct procedural inadequacies and/or compliance weaknesses identified through self assessments based on procedure timelines

Energy Efficiency Emphasis
13
So ….. Operations Management Areas of Focus Have Had to Change With The Times (1955 – 2008)
1. Adapt to growing influence of power pools and FERC
2. Adapt to lack of integrated generation and transmission planning
3. Cope with increasing regulation (especially D segment)
4. Higher total energy costs = higher customer expectations
5. Manage an aging infrastructure (post WWII expansion)
6. Control delivery costs to offset higher energy costs and slower revenue growth
7. Take the lead in energy efficiency
8. Become “players” in legislative/regulatory decisions
14
Key Operations Management Challenges Facing Distribution Utilities Today
1. Safety
2. Meeting increasing customer performance expectations
3. Managing an aging distribution delivery infrastructure
4. Managing increasing costs between rate cases
5. Managing areas of environmental risk
6. Planning for worker attrition
7. Reacting to changing laws and regulations
8. The goal is to accomplish items above while meeting Shareholder expectations for increased income over time
